Donald Trump has not received a poll boost in the first presidential election survey conducted since the failed assassination attempt on Saturday.

The poll, conducted by Morning Consult of 2,045 registered voters on Monday, reveals that Trump is leading Joe Biden by just one percentage point on 46 percent, compared to the president's 45 percent. The poll has a margin of error of +/- two percentage points.

See 2020. The same result is quite likely. I don't care what any new organization or poll says. Don't care.

The only thing missing from that picture is him holding the chain attached to Slave Leia.

Isn't 2k voters a comically small sample to draw any results from? I hope it is true, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

I'd say it's unlikely to change minds, but it could cause people to be even more forceful in their support and more likely to vote.

There are a number of conflicting polls but realize that they can't account for things like "enthusiasm gap" which definitely cuts in Trump's favor at the moment. That said, the newscycles have been so insane lately, who knows what the next 10 inflection points before the election will bring.

If it was me. I would stop my campaign out of respect for the family of the fallen.

Trump: "respect? That's that one song by the black lady right? insert racist ramble here"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

That seems like an odd sentiment. I'm no Trump supporter, but I can imagine a mindset of "hold on, my family died supporting you and you're going to give up?"

That would be some sort of participation trophy.

A bit unrelated but the Stock price for Trump Media went up

He does poll much higher than Harris in some polls that show up on Fivethirtyeight but it hardly makes much sense to include those polls, imo.
